Chapter Eighty-Three: The Crown
Since Cao Cao made up his mind, another three or five days have passed, until the tenth day of the third month, but it is the day when Han Yan and the crown have arrived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It stands to reason that people like Han Yan who don't remember their birthdays are really not good at setting a date for the crown ceremony, but somehow, Han said that he was stunned to set such a birthday for Han Yan, and he didn't know where Han said it was calculated.
On the tenth day of the first month of March, the day of Han Yan's crown ceremony.
The crown ceremony is a very ancient etiquette, and it is a coming-of-age ceremony for men. The man who has performed the crown ceremony said that he is already an adult and can carry out marriage matters and participate in various important family activities. Generally speaking, the crown ceremony is held in the family, and the elders of the clan are traditionally held for fun.
It's just that the situation of the hesitant Han Mansion is special, and this crown ceremony is Han Shuo to help Han Yan handle it. And among the people present, naturally only Xun Jing and Cai Yong, the two elders of Han Yan, were present.
Han Yan, who knelt in the study, looked very helpless. Why is this crown ceremony held in the study? Why does this crown ceremony have to face these three old people? Thinking of Cao Cao and the others outside the Han Mansion waiting to pick him up and go to the Moon Tower, Han Yan felt helpless in his heart.
"Yan'er, after today, you will no longer be a child. Let me ask you, do you understand? ”
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo looked very solemn, obviously caring more about Han Yan's crown ceremony.
"Yes! Words clear! ”
Even if he was infected with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others in the past, Han Yan at this time did not show it at all, without him, this matter today is too important.
"Then, let me ask you, are you willing to take over the foundation of the Han Mansion after a hundred years?"
Gently brushing his beard, Han Shuo stared at Han Yan with his eyes, hoping to get a definite answer.
"Huh? This...... How can you say such a thing when you are in the prime of life? ”
Han Yan, who instinctively felt that something was wrong, said such a sentence after hesitating again and again.
In fact, what Han Yan wanted to ask was how he could ask such a thing on the day of today's crown ceremony, but after thinking about it again, Han Yan still felt that such wording was a little inappropriate, so he could only knock on the side. You know, the phrase 'a hundred years later' doesn't mean a hundred years later, but after death. The so-called '100 years' is just an empty word.
"Alas! You are asking why I am asking this on the occasion of your crowning today, right? Han Yan's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate other people's hearts, looking at Han Yan's eyes, he said the latter's heart, "Actually, I don't want to do this." It's just that my time is running out, and although I seem to be in good health now, my life is hanging by a thread. ”
"Huh? This...... How is this possible? ”
The first time he heard Han say this, Han Yan expressed his disbelief. Why is his life hanging by a thread? Isn't that too mysterious? Even if you are proficient in divination, this is really a bit appalling.
"Stinky boy! Your dad can't lie to you! ”
Cai Yong, who was standing on the side, couldn't help the dissatisfaction in his heart, and scolded Han Yan.
"It doesn't have to be this way!" Waving his hand slightly, Han Shuo signaled Cai Yong not to be too excited, "Yan'er, you have to know." Whether my life hangs by a thread or not, you will have to face this problem in the future. Now, let me ask you, are you willing to inherit the foundation of the Han Mansion after a hundred years? ”
"This, naturally...... The Han family has a big business, and I'm afraid I can't afford such a heavy responsibility. ”
After hesitating for a while, I don't know why, Han Yan suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Han said that he wanted to become an official in the DPRK, and he was stunned to change his words.
“…… The Han family has a big business, and you know it. But Han said that with such a son as you, who do you want him to pass on? ”
Pouted, Xun Jing has a bit of a play-watching mentality, this pair of 'father and son' is really interesting.
"Or ...... Looking back and working hard after I get married, will you wait for another 20 years? ”
Han Yan, who seemed to be very cautious, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a very 'reliable' idea.
Xun Jing and Cai Yong, who were standing beside Han Shuo, couldn't help laughing after listening to Han Yan's words.
"Huh! Teasing grandchildren, the joy of family, I also want to! He smiled helplessly, Han said that he didn't continue, sometimes, he was in a lot of difficulties, but he couldn't let others see the slightest bit, which was the most helpless place. After thinking about it, Han Shuo decided not to give Han Yan any more room to turn around, "Yan'er, I only give you one way now, inherit the Han Mansion!" ”
"It's easy to inherit the Han Mansion, but apart from the Han Mansion, you have other things to explain, right?"
Facing the three elders who are old and sophisticated, although Han Yan is not very shrewd, he is not so easy to fool, Han Fu is easy to say, but if he wants to come to Han Shuo, he will not make such a simple request, there must be other requirements.
"Entering the Dynasty as an Official ......"
Almost subconsciously, these four words came out of Han Shuo's mouth.
"Impossible! Let's change it! ”
Han Yan, who was as decisive as Han Shuo, vetoed it as soon as Han Shuo finished speaking. Entering the court as an official? Are you kidding!
"Swear allegiance to the Son of Heaven ......"
"Change!"
"Supporting the Han River, Mountains and Sheji, and ensuring the safety of the people of Li and the complete ......"
"This ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it......" When it came to this request, Han Yan was already a little relieved.
Although he said that he didn't have a good impression of today's son and was a little disgusted with the current court, thinking about those innocent people, Han Yan was like remembering the dry bones on the side of the road that he saw after waking up, and he really couldn't refuse. In addition, looking at the three elders in front of him, Han Yan didn't think that if he refused again, there would be a good end, and it was only a matter of time before he agreed. It's just that the request of 'supporting Jiangshan Sheji' is a bit beyond Han Yan's ability, the young man who was still drinking and chatting with Cao Cao and others the day before yesterday is going to agree to help protect Jiangshan Sheji today, old man, are you Ganluo who is famous all over the world when I am twelve years old? Besides, even if I am Ganluo, I am not the first emperor to win the government today!
"You don't have to worry about that." Seeing that Han Yan was finally a little relieved, Han said that he could be regarded as letting go of the hanging heart slightly, if this kid didn't agree, then he could only give up Han Yan, "Supporting Jiangshan Sheji, naturally do it when you can." The matter of ensuring the safety of the people also depends on your ability, and naturally you will not be allowed to do something impossible. ”
"That'...... I do! ”
Gritting his teeth, Han Yan finally agreed.
"Whew!" Seeing that Han Yan agreed, Han Shuo let out a sigh of relief, with a relaxed look on his face, and then took out a sword from the table and handed it to Han Yan, "This sword is a gift from your crown, remember to keep it properly!" Do you remember? ”
"Yes!"
After taking a closer look, Han Yan was very surprised to find that this sword was not the two-foot-long 'broken sword' that he saw here the day before yesterday?
"You have accepted this sword, so naturally there should be a word, after all, today is your crown gift." His eyes swept over the two beside him, and Han Shuo's brows furrowed, "I don't know, what word do you want?" ”
"This ...... It's good to have an idea. ”
This kind of thing, not to mention Han Yan, who is now a little confused, even if he is usually sober, he may not be able to come up with it.
After all, the word is the same as the name, you have to follow yourself through the rest of your life, and if you don't get up well, you will be depressed for a long time.
"This ...... What do you think, sir? ”
Han said that at this time, there were also some difficulties, as far as divination is concerned, it is not a simple matter to fix the word, but it will affect the direction of the second half of this child's life, and it is really impossible for Han to say that he is not careful.
Xun Jing stroked his beard, but did not speak.
Generally speaking, the word is a thing, or to explain the previous name, for example, Cao Cao's character Mengde, Cao is conduct, morality, Mengde is to explain this '', or it is an extension of the previous name, such as Yuan Shao's character Benchu, Shao is the inheritance, and the original is the beginning of the inheritance...... And so on and so forth, the meaning of the word varies. Therefore, this kind of thing is not casual.
At this time, Cai Yong didn't know why, a word suddenly appeared in his mind, and the ghost blurted out in a daze: "How about calling it 'Youxin'?" ”
"Letter?"
Hearing these two words, Han Shuo only felt a burst of enlightenment, good words!
Han Yan, Han Youxin. Keep your word!
After thinking about these two words, Xun Jing couldn't help but nodded. Words are true, from the seventh chapter of the Analects of Learning, 'Zi Xia said: Virtuous and virtuous; Parents can do their best; The gentleman can get up; Make friends and keep your word. Although I have not learned, I will say that I have learned'. I really didn't expect that this Cai Yong had been degraded for so many years, but the knowledge of each family had improved a lot, thinking of this, Xun Jing couldn't help but look at Cai Yong twice.
Unlike Xun Jing, in Han said that if you want to come, there is a letter, a letter! Isn't that the one? This kind of existence made in heaven may ...... Is your own divination really foolproof?
"Yan'er, are you satisfied with the word 'Youxin'?"
Although Han Shuo and the other three reached a consensus, after all, this word is for Han Yan, even if it is for pretense, it is necessary to ask Han Yan how he feels.
"Hmm!"
Nodding slightly, Han Yan didn't feel anything, in his opinion, it was just one more word, no big deal.
"Good! In this case, etiquette is also completed. You can go out with nothing to do, and those 'friends' who want to come to you can't wait, right? ”
Han Shuo said, naturally it was Yuan Shao and others waiting at the gate of the Han Mansion, these people had been waiting outside since sunrise, and at this time, the matter came to an end, and Han Shuo couldn't help but start making fun of Han Yan.
"Hmm!"
Han Yan, who was teased, was very heavy in his heart at this time, so much so that he forgot that Han said that he didn't wear a crown for himself, and went out with a sword.
Looking at Han Yan's departing back, Cai Yong couldn't help it, leaned in front of Han Shuo, and whispered, "This ...... Isn't this kid's crown ceremony today? Isn't it a little inappropriate to not even give him a crown? ”
"Hey! It's just a courtesy, you and me, who is the one who wears the crown and belt all day long? Why care about these rituals? Hearing Cai Yong's words, Xun Jing was naturally a little disapproving, in his opinion, a ceremony is a ceremony, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
"This ...... It's not that I don't want to! I forgot to prepare ......"
Listening to the argument between the two people around him, Han Shuo grinned helplessly, with a depressed face.
At this time, Han Yan, who was far away from the study, also felt that something was missing, but he didn't care too much about something in his heart, everything was too strange today, and everything made Han Yan feel a little at a loss.
Out of the gate of the Han Mansion, the sword had already been carried by Han Yan on his waist, how awkward it looked. It stands to reason that Han Yan is more or less a son, but this sword is a little too 'unpretentious', in fact, it is still a little too subtle to say that it is unpretentious, if you really let Yuan Shao and others evaluate, this sword is no different from just dug out of the soil, and the sword body is too dark.
Looking at Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others who had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, and then looking at the carriages and horses parked on the side of the road, Han Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, facing these 'fox friends and dog friends' who are not many years older than him is much easier than facing the three old people who are said by Han Shuo, at least, Cao Cao will not force himself to express his position on whether to do his best for the Han Dynasty.
Shaking his head and throwing all kinds of uneasiness out of his mind, Han Yan strode down the steps, clenched his fists, and walked towards Yuan Shao and the others, "Let you wait for a long time." ”
"Haha! What's this! Compared with Cao Cao's more dull personality, Yuan Shao is much more cheerful, as soon as he saw Han Yan walking out of the Han Mansion, he immediately greeted him, met Han Yan under the steps, pulled Han Yan's wrist, turned sideways slightly, and joked to Cao Cao and others behind him: "Haha! Our little brother is really an 'adult' today, do you want to have something fun today? ”
"Huh? Something is wrong, right? ”
Looking at Han Yan's obviously absent-minded appearance, Xun Chen really didn't agree with Yuan Shao's plan, a state like Han Yan was more suitable for resting at home than going out for fun.
It's just that Xun Chen's consistent personality does determine that his voice will not be too loud, so he was quickly overwhelmed by the people around him.
"Huh! On the day of the little brother's crown ceremony, it is indeed a good celebration! However......" Chen Lin catered to Yuan Shao in the first half of his sentence, but the words changed later, "There is something that is going to be before this." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
Yuan Shao, who had been friends with Chen Lin for a long time, naturally didn't think that Chen Lin would find him unhappy, so he asked very cooperatively.
Chen Lin smiled at this time, "Hehe! Today is the day of the crown, and I have to ask Han Qianyan to say his words! ”
With this sentence, everyone nodded involuntarily, and then turned their eyes to Han Yan.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Han Yan took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, "There is a letter." ”
